hello! i'm saundra hadley
I've owned this sweet little event planning business for 15 years. I live by the motto to always be real, laugh as often as possible, and serve my clients to create memorable celebrations. I am blessed with a fantastic husband, an awesome "adulting" son and a sweet lovable chocolate Australian labradoodle puppy (you can see him below).
